| Learning Outcome: | The goal of the course is a systematic description of nanotechnological techniques and approaches which are important for biotechnology. The approaches having general meaning and wide application fields are presented within lectures while the topic with limited or still not established application potential are presented within short student talks.After successful participation in the module students can explain and apply scientific principles as well as specialised and in-depth knowledge. -They can develop independent ideas and concepts to solve scientific and professional problems. |
| Contents: | The theoretical course includes the following topics: (i) metallic nanoparticles and their applications in biology and medicine (plasmonic nanoparticles, plasmonic effects and aggregation assays, localized plasmon resonance, fluorescence quenching/enhancement near metallic nanoparticles, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy), (ii) applied surface science (basics of surface electrostatics, methods of surface analysis, self-assembled monolayers, covalent immobilization of biomolecules, microcontact printing and other techniques for formation of two-dimensional structures), (iii) affinity biosensors (surface plasmon resonance (incl. a seminar on computer simulation of this effect) and its analytical applications, other types of affinity biosensors), (iv) model lipid systems (liposomes, lipid monolayers, planar lipid bilayers). Additionally, the theoretical course includes short presentations of students and subsequent discussions on particular topics of nano(bio)technology, for example: DNA-nanowires, biosensors based on carbon nanotubes and graphene, fluorescent plastic nanoparticles, etc. |

| Teaching Materials and Literature: | Because there is still no student book on Nanobiotechnology, the students are advised to work with scientific reviews, original scientific publications, as well as with protocols and application notes of manufactures of the devices, with lectures scripts and with information from Internet. Some particular topics are presented in the books: C. Mirkin, C. Niemeyer (eds.), Nanobiotechnology I, II, Wiley; 2004, 2007; J. Homola (ed.) Surface Plasmon Resonance Based Sensors, Springer; 2006; V. M. Mirsky (ed) Artificial Receptors for Chemical Sensors, Wiley 2010; D. K. Martin (ed). Nanobiotechnology of Biomimetic Membranes, Springer 2007. |
